this started out pretentious but readable and fun and grew skim-worthy and confusing while still pretentious. lesbians are great obv and conceptually i support the idea of showing how this specific group of western european authors and artists poke in and out of each other's lives and politics but like. it was just annoying. especially later when there are so many characters and you're not particularly attached to any of them and can't remember who's who. like idk ig thats a skill issue but i was not invested enough to try harder. also very eurocentric. some of the vignettes were pretty fun tho!
